Retired college instructor translates famed Yiddish works to English, says old stories a hit with students

Posted: Mar 06, 2021 1:00 PM PT | Last Updated: March 6 Rachel Mines is the first person to translate into English the literature of New York-based Russian Yiddish writer Jonah Rosenfeld.(Thinglass / Shutterstock) When retired Langara College English instructor Rachel Mines was a little girl, her parents put her in Yiddish classes that she promptly quit because she thought they were uncool. It might have eased her parents minds to know she would grow up to not only translate renowned Yiddish works, but encourage others to enjoy them as well. Mines, who is part of a group called the Vancouver School of Yiddish Translators, is the first person to translate into English the literature of New York-based Russian Yiddish writer Jonah Rosenfeld, who was known for writing alienated characters with complex psyches.
